9. Hubble SM-4 Current Status • On September 27, at 8:10 PM EDT, the Hubble Observatory safed the instruments and payload computer. • An investigation of the Hubble safing incident indicated a complete loss of the Control Unit/Science Data Formatter - Side A, which is part of the spacecraft Command and Data Handling system. • Activities are underway to switch the Hubble Observatory over to Side B, in order to allow science observing to resume. This is the first time Side B has been exercised since before launch. • A spare Science Instrument Command and Data Handling System is available at GSFC and will begin Flight Acceptance for delivery by January 2009. • The Agency has determined that the Hubble telescope servicing should restore C&DH system redundancy. • SOMD is studying launch options in light of these developments. (Target “work to” date of Feb 17, 2009.) • Some FY09 Science Operations funds, including GO budget, will be redirected to help fund the launch slip (~$10M/mo).

10. Accomplishments and Significant Events • SOFIA • Coated primary mirror re-installed. • Installed all 3 actuators for control of telescope cavity doors and aperture. • Purchased 747SP hulk, without engines, for spare parts. • Received 27 White Paper proposals for early science. • WISE • Completed magnetometer and reaction wheel integration, and started s/w flight qual testing. • SoftRide CDR successfully completed and go ahead given to fabricate the hardware. SOFIA Actuator for Upper Rigid Door Herschel/Planck - launch NET Mar09 • Delay due to helium contamination in the fill line of the Herschel cryostat. • ESA negotiating new launch date with Arianespace. • Balloons • During the FY08 Fall Ft. Sumner Campaign the Louisiana State University High Altitude Student Platform (HASP) successfully launched on 9-15. All science instruments operated nominally during the 2-day flight.

11. Accomplishments and Significant Events • JWST • The first primary mirror segment, A1, was shipped to Ball where installation is underway of the radius of curvature actuator, segment positioning hexapods, related flexures, and whiffle-tree structures. • CSA conducted CDR for the etalon, a key component of the Tunable Filter Instrument optical assembly. • NIRSpec flight sensor chip assemblies selection were made with ESA. • JDEM • Science Coordination Group first meeting Oct 15-16 at GSFC. JWST ISIM Structure Deck A complete Kepler • Completed Flight Segment Thermal Vacuum testing. Completed post-T/V functional testing of both the S/C and photometer. Completed EMI/EMC testing. • Successfully completed Operations Readiness Test #1, simulating 1 week in the life of nominal science operations. Other • Held the Astrophysics Theory & Fundamental Physics and Astrophysics Data Analysis Peer Reviews.

12. Future Significant Events • SOFIA • Open door flight testing early 2009. • JDEM • Release AO in late 2008. • Hubble • SM4 mission launch 2009. • Kepler • Launch NET March 5, 2009. • Herschel/Planck • Launch NET March 2009.

32. Funding History by Level-3 WBS

33. FY2008 Grants Status In mid-April 2008, the Budget Targets were increased to 100% of the Annual Targets of $57,301,000 for WBS 399131 (APRA, ATFP, OSS) and $12,013,000 for WBS 907524 (ADP/LTSA). The Targets for WBS 907524 were subsequently reduced by $3.2M (the ADP “bow wave”) so that those funds could be used elsewhere. The Targets for WBS 399131 were reduced to reflect end-of-year pullback of funds from the Centers that were not going to be spent. We have requested and released $56.9M (99%) in WBS 399131 and $8.8M (100%) in WBS 907524.
